A MISSIONARY’S PRAYER
God of the far-flung Missions lines, grant us who serve Thee in the remote places patience. So much to be done, so few the hands, so short the time. Our souls are on leash—we struggle so.
Forgive us, whose eyes and hearts are full of the vision of the wait­ing need, if at times we question and doubt—question whether really the Church whose ambassadors we are wants us to advance when the opening ways offer limitless opportunities—doubt sometimes in our weariness of heart.
O Lord, stir Thou the hearts of Thy people at home, young and old—the old that they may give now in this day of Africa’s awaiting— the young that they may rise up and say, “Here Lord, am I—send me!”
Our trust is in Thee. As, in Thy name, we have claimed individuals, families, and groups for Christ here in this land, so do we now, O God, lay claim upon individual families, and groups in the homeland, that in this new decade they may dedicate themselves anew to Thee and to Thy Kingdom. With no obstacles before us, O may there be none behind!
•So we pray, O Sovereign God, for Thy blessing upon all of us, and we confidently expect the evidence of Thy guidance and Thy power back in the Church where Thy servants live and work.
Forgive us, Father, if we have been cold, indifferent, dull of heart. In mercy forgive us all our sin. In the Master’s name. Amen.—The Drum Call, Elat, West Africa.
